Lens Wallace is a dutiful art professor's wife and mother of two teenage daughters. For sixteen years she's been the one organising schedules and taking care of everyone - especially during Alex's frequent business trips to Italy. Only after a series of mysterious phone calls does she start to question his absences. When she flies out to Florence to visit him, she learns that her husband has a flat and a mistress there - and he wants to end their marriage. Stunned and grief stricken, Lena decides she's going to stay in Florence and get her husband back, but the further Lena goes to win Alex, the less she recognises herself. And in this magical and inspiring city, she begins to evaluate what really matters to her family, and to her own life...
